Re: Dragonguard resistances

In that case, my feel from playing Invasion of the Unknown(which is also awesome) is that the scouts are kinda on the strong side. I saw from the UtBS WML that he's already been toned down a bit(and the Explorer's thicker armor is described briefly), but when you combine resistance with 2 more movep...

Re: Dragonguard resistances

I would argue that the other dwarven units, being the infantry, are the ones that get better armor as they show prowess in combat, and consequently higher weapon resistances. The dragonguards, being primarily ranged(though not exclusively), would be the ones that instead had access to the best booms...

Re: Well done! Loving this game!

Every time I want to come back and help develop again, I try to play it first to see what's new and exciting. Then I get addicted again and never get around to coding. :/

Re: Scenario Review: (HTTT) Test of the Clans

(1) What difficulty levels have you played the scenario on? Medium, 1.3.17 (2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) 6. Thank goodness for the inclusion of Dwarvish Guardsmen, as it has made a huge difference in this scenario. Finally, something to protect the gunners! The Void Armor was ...

I mean, getting to the forest isn't exactly a cakewalk, but there's not a whole lot of thinking involved. Distract the enemy with scouts, send everyone east who can make...

I know a guy who's using 1.4.4 under Vista. Shouldn't be much trouble.

Re: Wesnoth mechanics vs battlefield reality

Reading this actually reminded me of Sierra's years-old Civil War Generals 2. I only played the demo, but if I recall(and I admit not recalling perfectly well), some of the game's features were like what you describe.

May be worth a look if you can still get it.

Re: Scenario Review: The Lost General

I think the intermission scenarios should still have threads for feedback. While Plunging and similar scenarios are small, there may still be room for things to add, or feedback about dialog -- for example, I'd like to suggest expansion on the back-and-forth between the dwarves and Kalenz a bit. Any...

"We have a plan to use it wisely," he said, "beginning with hiring some real artists." Does this mean we'll finally see more WB-anime-like characters in the official campaigns? The thought of guiding Magical Girl Li'Sar-chan and her loyal Sword-i-mon across the northlands makes ...
